I have to second purple turtles comments below. Yannis and Thespina are a fantastic couple. They will defo make sure you have a fantastic holiday, both you and your children. And what a better hotel to stay in then the Planos. I stayed in the Admiral (planos sister hotel which is next to admirals) in October last year and I had a fantastic time! The entertainment in both these hotels are brill and i am sure you will have a great holiday. I have been to Tsilivi three times now and I hope to return soon.

Yannis and his family of entertainers have been working at the Planos bay apartments this season but a little bird says that if the zante palace manages to get an operator for next year then they may well return to Zante palace next year, I hope so cos they are a full of fun and really do make your holiday complete. fingers crossed!! xxx

Anne Marie. you will love Tsilivi and I think you will like the Admirals too, but each to their own. I have been to Tsilivi 3 times and am due to return in May with my boyfriend. In the past I have holidayed in Tsilivi with my mum, dad and two young brothers. The children loved The Admirals, and so did we. There is a kids club in the day, who are brilliant with the children and the childrens evening entertainment was good too. however, we did go out of the hotel in the evening to other venues, as  afterall, we wanted to explore Tsilivi, not just stay in the holtel every night. We found the pool to be clean, the apartments are clean too, and the maids are brilliant. There are expected to be teenagers around, as it is a family hotel. in-terms of noise, we stayed in the third and fourth rooms next to the pool area on the groung floor and didn't hear a sound, sleeping perfectly well.

Hi Deano, do you remember me? my names Vicky. me and my friend Lyndsey met you and all the gang in 2003 when you were at the admirals? my mum (helena) and dad and too youner brothers were also there with us at the same time? Well, im coming back in 6 weeks time, this time with my botfriend, cant wait to check out deanos bar, if the entertainment is anything like it was when you worked at the Admirals, then were in for a good time!! See you in a few weeks, Luv Vicky x

Hi Julie,

Dazza,

We have found the same problem too - a huge increase in next years holiday prices.I queried this with Thomas cook, apparantly it is an increase in aviation fuel. We are going to the admirals next week and it has cost us just over £1100 for 2 adults and 2 kids. But the same holiday in May next year is an extra £500, and that isn't even school half term. Big increase i think. Hope you get something not too expensive

Having in the past travelled with Thomas Cook, we was a bit apprehensive of travelling with mytravel. HOWEVER, They were absolutly fantastic, from booking in the travel agents to the transfer rep, the rep based at the hotel to the air stewards, they were all fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Hence, we have booked with them again for next year and even got a discount for being repeat guests!! Will defo continue to use mytravel for the forseable future!!

Hi Linda. No it isnt as bad as people really say at all!! Anna doesnt expect you to eat in her snack bar everyday, even every other day!! To be honest your daughter will find her a lot cheaper then any other eatery in tsilivi... Anna doesnt expect you to eat here over any other restaurant, infact she will reccomend other restaurants..what Annas issue is is guests using her pool/sunbeds and bringing their own food and drink by the pool everyday, like most hotels/appartments in tsilivi, the pool bar owner rents the pool/bar off the hotel owners so their only income is what they make selling food and drink, so i dont blame her getting upset when people stay at the hotel for two weeks, using her sunbeds and not even buying a bottle of water at 1 euro or whatever, when thats the only money she makes. having stayed at the amaryllis before and going again next week, i can honestly say anna isnt as bad as people are making out on here....Anna and her family are lovely, the food is lovely and really cheap, full english for 3euro, come on what are people really moaning about?? 

Cant wait to get back to tsilivi next week and back to friends bar to see my old-time greek 'friends' Yannis and thespina.. get me a cold beer ready for next wednesday yannis!! see you all soon xxx

Thanks Linda.. We go on Wednesday morning.. cant wait now!

Am sure you will enjoy the Amaryllis.. Enjoy your holiday and let me know what you think when you return!

Happy Holidays

Hi Stephen.. The Admirals is approx a five to Ten minute walk from the Two Brothers bar, depending on what pace you walk and if you call in any other bars on the way! LOL

Have you been to Tsilivi before?

Linda.... So glad you seem to have liked the Amaryllis, I remember speaking to you early last year before your visit to the Amaryllis.... We are hoping to go back to Tsilivi next year, money depending!!

That sounds like the Anna I know. Her husband nikos gave us a lift upto manos grill one night because we had a bad storm and it was pouring down, we asked her to ring a taxi but Nikos said 'no taxi, I give you lift'. Such a lovely family. I have heard a few comments about the owner and his mother, they didnt bother us to be honest but we just stayed clear of them. Hey, we might see you next year cos were hoping to go out next June too.
